The administration of US President Donald Trump is pursuing a suicidal, self-destructive policy in Afghanistan which will only prolong a losing war there, according to James Petras, an American writer and retired professor.

Petras, who has written dozens of books on international issues, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Saturday while commenting on the new troop deployment by the US to Afghanistan.

On Thursday, the US Department of Defense announced about 3,000 additional American troops have been deployed to Afghanistan under Trump’s new war strategy for the country.

The Pentagon had previously said about 11,000 US forces were stationed in Afghanistan. The new deployment has raised the number of American troops in the war-torn country to at least 14,000.

“I think this addition of troops is a hopeless expedition that has no sense at all because the US has been in Afghanistan for over 16 years and has not succeeded in conquering the country,” Professor Petras told Press TV.

“I think it’s an effort by the Trump administration to somehow oust the Taliban but has instead invited the Taliban to engage in attacks on the government in its very capital, and in which the US has been unable to advance beyond its garrisons especially in the capital,” he said.

“It makes no sense at all by any calculations — militarily, politically, economically,” the analyst noted.

“I think it is a suicidal policy which will only prolong a losing war in which the Trump administration has engaged in an adventure which is totally irrational and self-destructive,” he concluded.

In August, Trump announced his controversial war strategy for Afghanistan. In a blatant U-turn from his campaign pledges to end the now 16-year occupation of Afghanistan, Trump said that his views had changed since entering the White House and that he would continue the military intervention “as long as we see determination and progress” in Afghanistan.

Trump authorized an increase of thousands of troops requested by US Army General John Nicholson, Commander of Resolute Support forces and American forces in Afghanistan.

Nicholson has said he needs about 16,000 troops in Afghanistan, and NATO countries have also pledged to help make up the difference.

The United States — under Republican George W. Bush’s presidency — and its allies invaded Afghanistan on October 7, 2001 as part of Washington’s so-called war on terror. The offensive removed the Taliban regime from power, but after more than one and a half decades, the foreign troops are still deployed to the country.

After becoming the president in 2008, President Barack Obama, a Democrat, vowed to end the Afghan war — one of the longest conflicts in US history – but he failed to keep his promise.

Trump, who has spoken against the Afghan war, has dubbed the 2001 invasion and following occupation of Afghanistan as “Obama’s war”.

But now Trump has announced to deploy thousands of more troops to the war-torn country, signaling a policy shift.

1- The area is rather too vast, (more than 250,000 square miles; about the size of Texas); extremely rugged and too inhospitable, (to invaders), to be able to hold steady on numerously-dispersed strategic vintage points for military operations.
.
2- Those (mostly isolated farming), communities and villages are too deeply-involved into traditional cultural and religious norms of their own lives to get easily brain washed and/or break down.
.
IF YOU CLOSELY LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF PASHTOONS AND THE OTHER ANCIENT FARSI-SPEAKING FOLKS OF AFGHANISTAN, YOU WOULD CLEARLY NOTICE THAT, ON DAILY AFFAIRS, RELIGIOUS FORMALITIES HAVE HAD ALWAYS PERVADED ALMOST ALL ASPECTS OF THEIR SOCIAL, BUSINESS AND LEGAL LIVES- SOMETIMES UNDER STRICT ISLAMIC LAWS AND JURISDICTIONS.

INDIVIDUALLY, MOST ARE STILL OBSESSIVELY DEVOTED TO ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS DUTIES WHICH CARRY ON AND OVERLAPS OTHER NORMAL DAILY SOCIAL FUNCTIONS AS WELL.

REMEMBER, THAT IT IS A NORMAL SITUATION FOR MORE THAN HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN AFGHANISTAN AND ITS IMMEDIATELY-INTERACTING SURROUNDINGS.
.
*THEREFORE, LOGICALLY, THEY WILL NEVER ALLOW THEIR STRICT TRADITIONAL FAMILY AFFAIRS, (AS A UNIT), GO AWRY UNDER THE FOREIGN’S COWARDLY-IMPOSED MANIPULATIONS AND IMPOSITIONS- IT IS MUCH MUCH DEEPER AND MEANINGFUL THAN YOU WOULD EVER REALIZE, UNLESS YOU GROW UP IN THE CULTURE OR GET DEEPLY IMMERSED INTO IT.
.
.
3- Ancient Arabs, (from 7th, until early 13th centuries) have had been heavily mixed with all major “ancient ethnic groups” of Afghanistan, especially over the last millennium.

Affiliated Arab Muslim armies were dispatched and consolidated in the region numerous times, throughout hundreds of years from 7th century up until the invasion of Chunggaze Khan, (early 13 century), either from, (already-conquered), the Islamic domains of southeast Afghanistan, (Seestan region), or the largest ancient Islamic base in Merv
(which grew to over a million inhabitants, mostly Arabs and local Muslims, by early 12th century, now located near Mary in south-east, Turkmenistan).
.
.
*
LOOK AT THE LANGUAGE !

I would call it “Arabo-Farsi”- if you take the Arabic out of it, then it will mean the end of Farsi as a language; now, no one could deny the facts of those cultural, genetic and religious ties and impacts.
.
Almost all the Farsi-speaking folks in Afghanistan are mixed Arabs; there are also huge Arabic admixtures with Turkic-speakers of Afghanistan as well.
.
MOST HAZARA FOLKS, (INCLUDING HAZARA SAYIDS), ARE ALSO MIX OF DIVERSE ETHNIC GROUPS IN AFGHANISTAN; PLUS KARAKHANIDS AND OTHER SETTLERS, (OF VARIOUS BACKGROUNDS DURING VARIOUS HISTORICAL STAGES), FROM CENTRAL ASIA AND DIFFERENT OTHER PARTS OF MIDDLE NORTH-EAST ASIA.
.
NEVERTHELESS, THE MAIN UNIFYING FACTOR IS THAT, ALL OF THE ETHNIC GROUPS OF AFGHANISTAN ARE SOMEHOW RELATED, MAINLY THROUGH THEIR ANCIENT MIXED ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS OF MESOPOTAMIA WHICH HAD ALREADY DEVELOPED AND EVOLVED IN THE MIDDLE EAST (ITS ORIGIN GOES BACK TO THE MOST ANCIENT CIVILIZED FARMING COMMUNITIES THAT EXISTED ON EARTH, MANY THOUSANDS OF YEARS BACK, IN AND AROUND THE SURROUNDINGS OF DIJLA, (TIGRIS), AND FARHAD, (EUPHRATES) RIVERS) IN IRAQ.
.
GO ON AND CORRELATE IT ALL, THROUGH THOUSANDS AND UPON THOUSANDS OF HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS, AS WELL AS,
“DNA ANALYSIS”- IF YOU WISH.
.
.
4- You have portrayed and targeted Muslims, Arabs and Pashtoons, categorically, as your #1 mortal enemies among all global social circles-so; tell me, how could you succeed in your twisted policies in light of the fact that the Arab blood lines from Mesopotamia flow through the veins of 99 percent of the current population of Afghanistan- your mis-guided conducts and phony rhetorics won’t get you any where.
.
Those folks, form the above core ethnic groups, that you hate the most and trying to root out; (at least, ideologically). They are well-aware of your neurotic case histories, and won’t be swayed by your feinting and rogue diplomacy.
.
.
5- There are close to one billon Muslims who reside within one thousand miles perimeter of Afghanistan. They could easily resort to unlimited reserve of fresh recruits from all sorts of backgrounds; name it fanatics, secular and/or somewhere in between.
.
Sooner or later, you would have to risk endless conflicts, with almost
two billion people- the installed Puppets,
won’t be able to save you then.
.
.
6- The loosely-assembled and aligned puppet leaderships inside Afghanistan are acting exactly like “bought slaves”, with no practical agendas on their own initiative and neither real grass-root supports- that is why your huge and aggressive regional military surveillance teams are still entangled, confused and dismayed.
.
.
7- Similarly; even though, the bribed and/or coerced governments of neighboring countries are tacitly going along with the “criminal dictates” of the Anglo-US war criminals; but, the overwhelming majority of the citizens of those countries will never tolerate forced savageries on fellow Muslims- unless they are rediculoudly hypnotized and/or somehow miserably duped.
.
.
8- Besides; the leaderships of those neighboring countries would have to lean towards the interests of their own citizens and won’t be able to sustain long-lasting strong collective economies in the region due to either unreasonably gigantic concessions to Western military designs or living their lives under shameful embargoes; monetary donations
and/or war bonanzas.
.
Those countries in the region would urgently need to help vitalize self-reliant economies in the whole region and in full coordination with each other in order to achieve success and live under their own free will- properly and with dignity.
.
.
9- The provocation of, “Shia/Sunni”
conflicts will not save and finalize the interests of the meddling bullying powers either- because, for most “real Muslims”,
who know their true great literature and proud heritage, the differences on major theological issues, are too minute, (within the larger expanse and true realm of core Islamic thoughts), to cause such kind of extreme animosities and divisions.
.
Your dirty tricks have had been, almost always, encouraging radicalizations and pitted one proxy government body against another in the region- CREATING SUPERFICIAL IDEALOGICAL AND RELIGIOUS RIFTS AND DISTURBANCES, just for pure sake of maintaining regional military, cultural and economical superiority.
.
There are prime instances and episodes of of major successful upheavals in the history of the greater Middle East; (in fact, several successful ones, in the past five hundred years and some with great hopes), that successfully unified and mobilized all the people of the region, (socially and theologically), against foreign hegemony- it will inevitably happen again.
.
check it out !
.
.
10- The INDIANS AND CHINESE ARE ENJOYING YOUR UNLIMITED CONCESSIONS ON THE SURFACE; BUT, STILL, THEY ARE SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR BIZZARE ANTICS; TANTRUMS AND IMPROPER WEIRD INDULGENCES.
.
Regardless; basically you have made yourself totally “hostage” to their demands- because of the fact that they “could easily” mess up your regional fragile war games in a heart beat; (relatively speaking), if they are forced to.
.
.
11- The top Russian generals have also already gone into great length to warn, advise and admonish you on your fixated grand military suppressions and arrogantly-conducting futile bloody missions.
.
All along since your grand invasion of, the new millennium, in Afghanistan, you have had been heavily exploiting the combat skills of the ex-Soviet military personnel and its allies who were stationed during 1980’s, with much bigger and stronger forces than you have currently on the grounds all over Afghanistan- that is why they are well-versed and realistic about all aspects of your delusional military designs and prowess.
.
THEY ARE RIGHT; YOU HAVE ONLY MANAGED TO CREATE MISERIES AND HATRED IN THE MIDSTS OF COUNTLESS QUAGMIRES, EXCLUSIVELY AMONG THE MUSLIMS COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE KILLING FIELDS OF THE TRIPLET CONTINENTS OF ASIA, AFRICA AND EUROPE.
.
.
12- Incidentally, those highly-paid international military mercenaries; camp followers; and soldiers of fortunes, (who were solely deployed for the promotion of your “War Bonanzas”), are not reliable at all- the real test of will, on their fake loyalties, could rapidly fizzle out under any serious internal or external stress.
.
.
13- Your deceptive endless war of attrition in Islamic countries has gone up far beyond your means- financially, pychologically and diplomatically.
.
WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR YOUR WEAK SPOTS WHEN YOUR GROWING COSTS OF SEEKING VITALY-NEEDED MILITARY MOBILIZATIONS FROM, ALL OVER THE WORLD, TO SAVE THE GROUNDS ON NUMEROUSLY-EXPANDING BATTLE FIELDS AND WIDENING PROXY DOMAINS, ACROS THE GLOBE.

Hard-working US tax-payers are already sick and tired of paying for your lavish expenditure under the light of dismal performance and lack of any real progress in your savage war fronts- plus, they are also questioning your flamboyant life-style and other excesses on your meager salaries- especially those who have illegally amassed millions from the war bonanzas.
.
.
14- TOP IT OFF; THE TENACITY OF THIS GRAND AND CREATIVE WAR EFFORTS OF YOURS HAS BEEN ALREADY INFECTIOUSLY STRETCHED TOO LONG AND THIN ALONG ITS WHOLE DETERIORATING SUPPORTING BODY- IN FACT, TO THE BREAKING POINT AT ANY OF ITS CRUMBLING FAULT LINE
WHERE EVENTUALLY YOU NEITHER COULD ENDURE IT PSYCHOLOGICALLY NOR AFFORD ITS ENORMOUS FINANCIAL BURDEN.
.
AS A RESULT; IN SPITE OF ALL OF YOUR EXTREME MEASURES AND SAVAGERIES, THE DYNAMIC AND UNPREDICTABLE NATURE OF GLOBAL BALANCE OF ECONOMIC POWER MIGHT TAKE “UNEXPECTED SHARP AND DRASTIC TURNS”- DUE TO MAJOR WIDENING RIFTS AND SHIFTS ON, ALREADY GONE, FRACTIOUS GLOBAL LOYALTIES AND PRIORITIES:

Afghanistan this year.

Afghan forces lost nearly 7,000 personnel in the first 10 months of 2016, the figures reportedly are much higher this year.

A BRIEF LIST OF
CRITICAL TURNING POINTS
IN
“US”
HISTORY
(in a spun of, a little, over one hundred years)
.
.
*(luck breaks)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A- Late 1800’s :
After the Spanish-American war, (1898), US was proclaimed as the major power of north and South America; plus Pacific Ocean.
.
.
B- After First World War (1918) :
US turned into one of the few major global power.
.
C- After Second World War (1945) :
After the defeat of Germany, US locked into “Cold War” with the other super power, USSR
.
D- AFTER THE SOVIET COLLAPSE IN AFGHANISTAN (1989) :

The luckiest break EVER ,
for the
US,
which, almost overnight “uncharacteristically” gained the status of
lone super( “military/economic”)
power; but……………
**********************
••••••••••••
*******
••••
.
(after just about one hundred years):
.
*US is standing on extremely
“shaky grounds”, due to its “low-class” turn outs in leaderships and arrogantly hostile global adventures (savage military attacks on regular innocent people in Islamic countries)- all against the civilized aspirations of about two billion normal Muslims).
.
.
.
.
It is truly baffling for an internationally corrupt country like this, (at its highest political positions), to reach to such level of high economic prosperity and
unmatched savage military advancement.
.
In an order to keep its status, the criminal wings of the ruling Western elite,
(only a few millions), have been resorting to extremism by launching the most barbaric military and torture campaigns that the Islamic countries have ever witnessed and experienced- very much in parallel and league with the grand campaigns of their idol,
“Chung-Gaze” and his hordes.
*****************************
.
The mental cases, are also encouraging or forcing other vulnerable countries to join real actions in GENOCIDES
as “camp followers”
against the innocent local folks across the world.
